• Behind ESPN/ABC Sports Boss, Jerry Jones is Most Powerful Man in Sports.

  The morning after his Dallas Cowboys find themselves two wins from clinching a wild-card spot, owner and general manager Jerry Jones is still pretty high -- which is to say, he sits at No. 2 on Sports Business Journal's list of sports' 50 Most Influential figures. Jones is behind only George Bodenheimer, president of ESPN/ABC Sports -- makes sense. As for Jones, he's up 13 spots from last year's list. How come? One billion guesses.

• Pacman Jones: Yay or Nay?

  If you missed Pacman Jones on CBS' NFL pre-game Saturday afternoon, here are the highlights lowlights: *His hair was in a sorta mohawk, stolen from Wesley Snipes' Blade, and he was wearing a cheesy, white sports jacket, a la Don Johnson in Miami frigging' Vice. *He used "man" as some of puntcuator five times, man. *Even more shocking and appalling, he said he thinks he'll be a Dallas Cowboy in 2009. You already know what I think of him. After watching ESPN's Outside the Lines report t

• Introducing ... Tom Landry Stadium!

  Well, that's my idea anyway. And it's a damn good one. Think about it. In this crappy economic climate even Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is having trouble luring a 9-figure naming-rights partner out to Arlington. So I say - just for the stadium's first year, mind you - Jerry should christen it after the Cowboys' first and bestest coach ever: Tom Landry. Furthermore, Jones should make the official announcement next Wednesday (February 25), the 20th anniversary of his unceremonial firing

• Deciphering Jerry Jones

  After almost two months of squirming in relative silence and anonymity, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones poked his head out, saw his shadow, freaked out and decided to give votes of confidence to has-beens George Strait and Terrell Owens and then, just for fun, strip from his head coach the remaining smidge of authority. No? Fine, then you tell me exactly what happened at Jonestown Coliseum yesterday in Arlington. I was at Mavs' practice and missed the press conference announcing that

Why come? A gut feeling, he writes this morning, as Dallas Cowboys fans await official confirmation. (Though, isn't a story on the team's official Web site more or less official confirmation?)

  The National Football League will release the '09-'10 schedule next month -- at which point, just maybe, Jerry Jones's Enormodome will officially announce that it's making its national prime-time bow on Monday Night Football, enh. Sports Business Journal reports that ESPN execs toured Jonestown a few days back in anticipation of requesting the league give the Worldwide Leader the first shot at the Arlington stadium in September; Jones has likewise requested an NFC East opponent. And, looks like

• Jerry Jones Analyzes His Old Players on His New Station

  For his first long-form, post-Terrell Owens interview, Cowboys owner/GM Jerry Jones chose ... 105.3 The Fan. In appearing on the newbie station with Ben and Skin yesterday afternoon, Jones is hinting loud and clear that his team has all but shaken hands with The Fan as the team's new flagship radio station. And in saying Owens' release wasn't related to locker-room chemistry, Jones is proving he can twist the truth adeptly on any frequency. In other Cowboys news: *Linebacker

• Delay of Game ... Dallas Cowboys

  Shockingly, this one isn't on No. 76. In fact, it's a good thing. At least I think it is. You tell me. The Cowboys last week mailed letters to all 2009 season-ticket holders, informing them that their dues for tickets and parking is surprisingly being delayed. Originally due April 1, customers now don't have to cough up the cash until June 1. Couple months doesn't seem like a big deal. But if you have, for example, four lower-level seats on the 35 at $340 per game for 10 games,&nb

  Check that, silence is golden.First, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says quarterback Tony Romo is untouchable. "I wouldn't trade Tony for anybody." Now head coach Wade Phillips - who never addressed his team after last season and has been publicly silent since 2008 - says he hasn't talked just because, um, he hasn't wanted to. "I didn't have anything to say." So Jones wouldn't exchange Romo for, say, Peyton Manning or Ben Roethlisberger or Tom Brady or Larry Fitzgerald or ... ? A

The stadium has already attracted George Strait and Super Bowls and Big 12 football games and NBA All-Star G

"Gather some ideas, solicit some fan feedback and let your imagination run wild," my editor told me at the time. "Let's give readers a picture of what a stadium might look like in the future." Fun.

Instead, Jones admitted to Newy Scruggs and I minutes ago on 105.3 The Fan that he did indeed pinpoint the New York Football Giants. Me: "Did you hand pick the Giants?" Jerry: "I did. I got to basically have real input into who we'd be playing. And y

After joking that he had called several committee meetings to investigate the situation, Jones simply said: "Yes. ... That's it."

"The feeling and the buzz in our locker room is off the charts, literally the best it's been in a good five years," Cuban told me and Newy Scruggs on 105.3 The Fan yesterday morning. "Every guy here

The game - tomorrow's kickoff is a ridiulously early 11 a.m. - is married to Dallas and the Cotton Bowl through 2015. After that ... "Well, that would be great," Jones said this morning on 105.3 The Fan of hosting the game in Arlington. "We know the great tradition and certainly we would want to hav
